Two days later, within the confines of Diana's residence in MidRidge, a tempest of emotions unfolded. Gina, Diana's mother, vented her frustrations and discontent towards Victor with a barrage of curses and insults. "That useless husband of yours, incapable of getting anything right! My friends have sons in law who are prosperous, with lavish cars and esteemed professions. Yet, fate cursed me with such a worthless son in law, and now, when he should be present, he flees. Diana, you must divorce him. I won't tolerate that impoverished failure in this household."Diana, grappling with her own frustrations, retorted, "Mom, that's enough. Victor is making an effort. Besides, didn't he recently assist you in securing fifty thousand dollars? You squandered it all in one go."Gina, seething with anger, responded, "So what! Other sons-in-law shower their mothers-in-law with far more and lavish them with expensive gifts. You are divorcing him, and that's final, unless you want me to take dras

Julius whispered, his unease evident, "What brings Martin Davis to this gathering?" Despite Davis's wealth, he didn't hold sway over MidRidge's elite families, who maintained a delicate balance of power by collaborating against potential rivals.Although Martin Davis ranked as the wealthiest individual in MidRidge, he didn't wield more influence than the established first ranked families. It was more accurate to say he stood on equal footing with them, and these influential families often united to safeguard their privileged positions, thwarting any attempts by outsiders to ascend their ranks.The top families in MidRidge were not allies but rather they fought against themselves several times. They only united together in several cases.Martin's standing in MidRidge was upheld by the support of the Parker family and his astute business acumen, which contributed significantly to maintaining his favorable position within the intricate social hierarchy of the town.Martin swiftly entere

With efficiency marking their departure, Victor, Michael, and Ella wasted no time bidding farewell to the Warden Clan and commencing their drive back to the bustling city. The noticeable absence of Moke from their company hinted at his engagement in other pressing matters.Once the trio ventured beyond the confines of the village, Victor decided it was time to reawaken his phone. The device had been deliberately switched off during their stay to maintain a respectful silence, ensuring that he wasn't disturbed during his stay at the Warden Clan.Putting his phone back on, he glimpsed through the countless calls and messages that was sent by Zion, Martin, Boss Kent and Diana.He paid less attention to the others, and clicked on his wife's message, it read, “Just a checkup message. My head is filled with thoughts of you, I miss you terribly, I hope you're fine where you are. I love you so much darling."Victor, intrigued by his wife's newfound boldness, contemplated calling her back bu

Solomon's countenance lit up with joy as he envisioned finally capturing Diana, who had eluded him for so long. His thoughts harbored a disdainful undertone, deeming her a "pretentious bitch" to himself, with intentions of discarding her after exploiting her.Accompanied by his father, Mr. Titus, Solomon confidently strolled toward the entrance, only to be intercepted by Grandpa Gardner and the other members of the Gardner family.Engaging in a courteous exchange, Grandpa Gardner greeted Mr. Titus who reciprocated by a nod. Solomon, wearing a confident smile, greeted Grandpa Gardner and hinted at the impending familial connection, saying, "Good morning, Grandpa Gardner. I will soon become your grandson in law."Curiosity tinged his voice as he asked about Diana's whereabouts. Frandpa Gardner, wearing a sour expression, revealed, "She has entered, but the security guards refused us entry."Solomon's expression shifted to a frown, his frustration evident. "How dare they? Let's go the

Victor halted in his tracks, compelled to pause by the sudden outburst that reached his ears. Swiftly turning in the direction of the voice, he found a young lady, elegantly attired and seemingly of the same age as him, swiftly making her way toward him. Upon a single glance, Victor discerned that she hailed from a wealthy family.Approaching Victor with an air of urgency, the young lady, without preamble, extended her hand and delivered a resounding slap. Victor, caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events, stood in disbelief. Here he was, intending to offer assistance, only to find himself on the receiving end of an unexpected and stinging rebuke.As he received the sharp slap, his gaze swiftly met Ella and Michael, who had trailed him and now found themselves amidst the onlookers. Despite their instinct to intervene, the look in his eyes silently conveyed a plea for restraint.Within the surrounding crowd, certain individuals who had previously cautioned Victor against a
